Just thinking about the old SAE gross ratings of the original muscle car era and I had a real mind blower…..

If our 455 hp LT1s were rated in gross circa 1963-71 it’d have been rated about 570...

Exactly!!

People don’t want a car when it looks like every other car out there. Market share for GM has fallen off a cliff, partly (not completely but definitely partly) due to their “let’s make...

That’s the problem. With everything. If we don’t like something or don’t agree with it we’re supposed to just shut up and let it go.

I don’t have a problem with the C8 as a super car at all. It’s an amazing performance car that absolutely rivals Ferraris, Lambos, McLarens, you name it.

The fact that it’s from GM to me makes it...
